I don't really think that Jimmer can finish at the rim at all in the NBA. But I don't care because that's not why you take him. His shooting ability makes the rim easily accessible for the rest of the team. Jimmer won't need to be able to finish with the way he shoots. He is going to hit clutch shots from the perimeter in meaningful games throughout his career. That's his mentality. Anyone who can't see that isn't paying attention to what he can do.
The Jazz won't be picking him w/out a trade. They're not going to pick him at 3, and he won't be there at 12. But he has the BBIQ, passing skills, playmaking and shooting ability to greatly benefit any team in the league.
Is he going to be a star? I don't know, and don't care. I think he'd be a great compliment guard to our current backcourt, and I think he would be willing to come off the bench for any team on a permanent basis. He shows no sense of entitlement, despite the hype surrounding him.
